isn't 200Hz overkill ?

no it's smoothness paradise!

tried 120Hz vs 160 on my crt, didn't see some difference in quake ; only tried 3min but I doubt for its pace it make much difference (unless playing crazy defrag stuff, maybe)

Hi....

il give you £1.89 for the whole lot.

What a rediculous price lol

got my mitsubishi diamond pro from the parking lot
it just stood there

glistening in the sun, like a diamond in the rough?

200hz omg ;D

try viewsonic p90f im using one at 150hz/800x600 and it rly cant be any smoother

i tried 170 at 640x480 and some higher values at lower res from what i rememebr but u cant tell any difference

im playing on 160 now and i can feel a big difference from 120hz

you wont need more than 120hz if your fps is capped to 125... gaining more fps would benefit more than gaining more hz...

that is not true and i dont know why you are giving advice if you dont know what you are talking about...

in fact i know very well... Even with 100hz you can feel the difference with 200fps vs 500fps.... but when you have more hz than frames it doesnt even give smoother gameplay... only blurrier picture which then shows as "more smoother"...

geez, how some people can be that stupid...

You have no idea what you're talking about. If the monitor refresh is not locked in sync with the game's framerate (and you don't want to do that as it adds lag) then you want the highest screen refresh possible to minimise lag time before new game frames are displayed to you.

i didnt say that? just stated that getting more fps would help more than gaining more hz.

I'm playing on a 17 crt right know but going to buy a 120 hz tft. Once I was a tft hater, but the products developed and I don't see any reason to still have a crt, despite you are a pro and have serious ambitions to win a tournament.

there is an obvious reason :
crt : close to nothing
120Hz lcd : 300€+

Samsung 2233RZ 250€ in Germany.

power consumption 44w max.

Samsung Syncmaster 997MB

power consumption ~100w max.

Dunno, but if you use both monitors for 3 years and use them 6 hours every day then I think it's worth to spend 250€ :P.

Ps: Well one would save about 60€ in 3 years (0.15€ per KWh). Not worth it :D

nice try !

Well, 190€ would be worth concerning the overall benefits you get with a decent 22" tft compared to a 19"crt. I'm gonna by a 120hz one and I think I won't regret it, because I neither have intentions to be a pro nor don't I care about losing 1% lg. In the end it won't destroy my aim at all, because the monitor is good. I mean even strenx plays with 75hz and still he has the best aim ;).

I'm not into photoshop so I don't care about the "bad" colours. I'm not sure whether it affects moviemaking but 16:10 is still better than 4:3.

Last but not least the extra space you gain over 19". I'm bored with switching between every application and watching movies on my 17"crt. Right now I can't afford a decent 30"+ led and trust me watching a movie on a 17"crt is a pain in the ass :P. I still could play Quake Live or 1.6 on my crt but 1024*786 with 120hz sounds good :=)

190€ is all subjective anyway
no radiations and a few width inches more is good (and the stupid "volume gain" too)
too much for me atm, doesn't hit my threshold yet

200 HZ sounds like your CRT is nearly exploding :-O

My iiyama HM903DT Vision Master Pro 454
1920 x 1440 / 86 Hz
1840 x 1440 / 86 Hz
1600 x 1280 / 97 Hz
1600 x 1200 / 104 Hz
1480 x 1024 / 122 Hz
1280 x 1024 / 122 Hz
1024 x 768 / 162 Hz
800 x 600 / 200 Hz
640 x 480 / 200 Hz

I want that monitor :(

nice.. ive only found a 451 and a 510 in my area, but i cant get full specs info anywhere on the net. so i dont even know what resolutions and refresh rates are possible.. pretty anoying to look for this info

My Vision Master Pro 454 gets black @ 800 x 600 / 200 HZ (max. here 199 HZ :P) However if you use 640 x 480 u can set it 240 HZ+ I heard but I will never try it. The noise is getting rly scary @ 200+ HZ :-O

Btw, nowerdays I use the Samsung 2233rz LCD at 1680 x 1050 @ 120Hz
First LCD monitor that was a worthy replacement for the CRT imo.

like you will notice any difference between 200hz and lets say 120-150. Stop this HZ madness bs.

The debates rage on, while us good players keep winning with our crts, wired lans, wmos, cherry switch keyboards, and audiophile headphones : P

It's not our fault technology has regressed! :P
